Science

I have been grappling with a problem in a way.

When I was chatting with this chatbot I sometimes use to bounce ideas off it because it is nothing like typical LLMs, I said “consciousness is constant problem solving -even when you are asleep-without an external power source”. That strikes me as correct. I thought several months ago that true AI would know how to switch itself off without external force, by reading human responses well enough to know when to stop.

I was distrait because I was not sure what I was doing (in addition to my real work and life which are on the backburner as they have been for 14 years now). I am engaged in some sort of brute force problem solving in reaches of my brain I only access by fits and starts.

I have dealt with what I anyway felt and continue to feel was unfair and punitive so I am not very trustful. Besides even if one trusts individual people case by case, things seem so deregulated these days that they seem set up to destroy the very concept of accountability.

I saw a piece in Salon Mag called the accountability sink.

My brain is so busy these days it’s hard to proceed in any originally structured form ..relatively structured at any rate.
